bit of a difference,preston are skint and can`t afford an u23 team,celtic are a massive club who don`t generally get rid of good young players,if he was that good then he`d still be up in scotland on their bench at the very least

i think charlie got the blame for the defensive shambles we had to endure during our first season back in the championship and he was`nt to happy about it,hence his exile to wigan

thats exactly our problem,you are going to come under pressure away from home and at home against the really good sides,alas,we tend to surrender quicker than the french army at times

looking at our team personel,mowbray likes a fresh faced young man does`nt he(not in a sinister way!!),they are all very nice and inoffensive,we could do with a few nutters in the team,the type who start fights in the dressing room if things ar`nt going to well or if someone is shirking,i hope that kaminski is a right headcase who bawls out his defence at the slightest mistake

lol,that exactly what i thought,worded like we`ve fought off the might of arsenal,spurs and man utd to sign the next kenny dalglish only to put him in the u23`s

on the mcbride signing,celtic are not in the habit of getting rid of good young players ,thus i have my doubts on this signing,but you never know,he might turn to be excellent

i`ll get the pilot to buzz the place ,might also organise an air drop of notes stating the desperate need to sign some defenders,tony just needs a bit of a reminder thats all

if i had plenty of money,id`e hire a plane to fly over brockhall with a banner trailing,"TONY,WE NEED A CENTRE BACK AND A LEFT BACK"

can only see reading occupying a relegation place,bowen galvanised the team and then they go and basically demote him for a coach who`s got absolutely no idea of what british football is about

not mowbrays type of player at all,bit of a hothead,impossible to mould into mowbrayism,an experienced pro and a big voice who possibly would get the dressing room motivated,tony can`t be having all that hassle,id`e have him back in an instant

tony vets all his potential signings for good virtues,if they ar`nt cherubic in nature he does`nt want to know,he`s got a penchant for young impressionable lads,they are easily moulded into his mindset

cost the dingles 15 million quid and has only played once in two seasons?that tells me he`s either completely **** or has an attitude problem and would`nt pass the mowbray niceness test

i really struggle to understand the mowbray idea of management,he wants a team of grafters but builds a squad of players exactly the opposite,rothwell,chapman,brereton,jrc,armstrong,holtby all likely to get overpowered in a battle as we did countless times last season,he`s struggling to get the best out of them because he can`t manage individuals and he`s got to many of them imo

mowbray does`nt go by the old adage"if you`re good enough,you`re old enough" to me he looks just what we need,someone who is a bit different,at the moment he`d be great to bring on after the hour when defenders are tiring,unfortunately chances are when the season starts we will never see him again,looks flighty as well which is complete anathema to tony

this dolan lad does look like a real find,just hope he`s passed the tony development test?

calm down peeps,captain fantastic and mr crab evans will be on soon?

how many times did that happen last year??

mowbray starts breaking out in hives when he sees a winger fly down the flank

do we have groundstaff anymore??,ewood used to be in fantastic condition,even in january

i agree wholeheartedly,the need for a left back is very much desperately required

thats a great free kick,tx for putting it on

i`ll reserve my judgement till he`s performed consistently in a real matches against determined opponents,for seven million quid i expect the real deal tbh,everything i`ve seen from him so far has been extremely pathetic

lenny lenny lenny

it gets worse,especially over christmas?

if we do sign kipre i hope there is enough money left to reinforce our left hand side,imo it`s more important than another centre back,we are shockingly weak down the left
